OK Gents,
As requested here is a very quick SBS on the tricky WSS Erbsenmuster.
First step on this converted Alpine fig was to paint the base color with the AK base but lightened with white. I then got some un lightened color in the recesses.
Next step was the light dots and light areas which was done again with the AK color made for that. After that the AK dark spot color was applied.
I then went back and added the light spots to the dark green patches and vice versa,plus added the green,which was a combo of the AK set color and Vallejo Golden Olive.
Low areas were accented with German Cammo Black Brown by Vallejo.
Very shadowy areas were given slight black tones and high areas were done last with the AK set color "Global Light Shade" which I think is an amusing name for some reason.
It still gets the dirt,etc and will be blended a bit when I paint the rest. I want to try some different tones for the trousers to add interest and because there were a lot of dye variations used by the clothing factories. It helps to have a good reference and I went a whole lot overboard by splurging for the amazing two book series by Silvestri. It has anything you could possibly want to know about WSS cammo.
Happy to answer any queries I didn't cover here,
enjoy,
J
